    SFI Options and Grassweeds

    What are people's thoughts on how they will manage Blackgrass and or Rye Grass in options like Wild Bird Food or Legume fallows? I've been reading through the SFI handbook and have found some options that would be a good fit for us, but I'm nervous of planting something that becomes swamped by...

    Would a "Growing strike" work?

    With the DEFRA payments for not growing crops being a better risk-reward than growing crops. Should we seek to get EVERY ARABLE FARMER to declare they are going 100% into "Herbal Lays" etc. and 0% into combinable crops. (Maybe 0% feed crops, as I know many farmers are a bit workaholic) We could...
